Hi there .... as someone with breast cancer and the most wonderfull nieces anyone could wish for ... l know how close that bond can be ... one little niece sobbed for ages when l told her ... it was only with their love and support that is getting me through ... they hold me up... and we live, laugh, share tears and tell each other I love you's all the time ...

So my heart goes out to you... but all she's taught you and all those memories will live in your heart forever ... no one can take them away ... life is about loosing people we love ... but if we bring their memory along this path of life, they still live in those stories ... l tell my granddaughter all about my magical dad and loving funny mum ... so they get passed down the generations ... it's when people can't talk about them they get lost in time ...

So hold on tight on this last journey of hers ... she will hear you, even when she can't speak ... and I think the words I'd use if I'd had that chance with my mum ,  would be thank you for the memories ...

Sending you a big hug ... Chrissie

My dear I am going through exactly the same thing now with my mother, it's so hard, although she is still here I feel like pieces of her have already gone, I can't even send her a text or call her, I just have to come and sit by her side while she sleeps and pray she knows I am there. You speak nothing but positive things about your aunt which is great and she sounds like a true fighter. Aslong as you share her life with others and keep her memory going that is all you can do. I'm dreading the end but we have to face it and we will get through this. All the best xx
